I subscribed to eHarmony’s 12-month Premium Plus plan. After using the platform for just a month, I became extremely dissatisfied with the service. Most of the profiles I contacted disappeared shortly after, which made the site feel fake and inactive. I deleted my account and removed the app from my phone well before the subscription ended, assuming that was the end of it. Nearly a year later, eHarmony attempted to auto-renew my subscription without my consent. My bank flagged the charge as fraud and blocked it. This forced me to cancel my debit card and wait for a new one — which disrupted my ability to pay other bills during that period.
When I contacted eHarmony, they told me subscriptions auto-renew to “provide uninterrupted service” and that it was my responsibility to turn off auto-renewal — even though my account had been deleted and I had no access to manage settings. I was told I had to pay the renewal charge to log in again so I could turn off the auto-renewal. That is a deceptive trap.
Eventually, eHarmony sent the charge to a third-party debt collector (RFGI), who is now pursuing me for a service I never agreed to continue and could not cancel. I’ve filed complaints with the BBB, CFPB, and Attorney General over this issue. I do not recommend eHarmony. Their policies are misleading, and there is no clear or fair way to prevent unwanted charges once you’re no longer using the service. This has caused me stress, financial inconvenience, and time wasted fighting a charge I never should have been responsible for in the first place.

If I could give it a -0 I would! I saw a charge on my checking account for eHarmony. I immediately canceled my card. I notified my bank of the false charges. I could not log into any account, had no information on an account. I filed complaints at the BBB. eHarmony even sent a collection agency after because they said I signed up for 4 months! eHarmony won't respond to emails. Denied any help on complaints with the BBB, and refused to return my $128. This is the worst company out there. Stay far away.

I paid for a premium 6 month subscription. Not one of 50 or more people were real. This business is a farce and a waste of time and money. I completed every section of the required profile information and included 15 plus up to date photos. Looks to me like the better your profile the more scammers you attract!. I would not recommend this business.

I'd say that 85-90% of the profiles that eHarmony sends or posts are FRAUDULENT. They're very easy to detect. Most are written by masked foreigners who don't know how to speak or write proper English. There are multiple profiles with the exact same descriptive written profiles, but have a photo of a different person. Most are trying to get your information by baiting your email address and or phone # before there is any type of dialog or communication. EHarmony also send a large percentage of outdated profiles. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on EHARMONY.

This site has gone downhill over the years and I thought it might be worth looking into. You’ll have to sign up with your card is continuously charged even if you deactivate your account. The matches you get are all bots or fake accounts that you can actually tell are not real. Even though they acknowledge that most of the accounts are fake they will issue no credits and they will stick you with the money. They have charged your card and you have to sign up for when your service now. Save your money. Go to Facebook dating. It’s free it’s screened and you’ll deal with local people.

Eharmony app has fake and inactive female subscribers with many profiles that are missing photos. The so called “feature” only uploads profiles with missing photos that when clicked on delivers a message saying, “account has been removed,” Many scammers on their introduction asking site repeatedly attempt to request the man’s cell number.

As a disappointed subscriber, I honestly can't recommend eHarmony. It's incredibly expensive for what you get, and the customer service is frustratingly unhelpful. The majority of profiles seem fake, and the site doesn’t even require or prioritize photo verification through SMS — which should be a basic step to ensure people are real.
I even tried adding a simple note to my profile asking that anyone who contacts me have their photos SMS verified, and eHarmony removed it. They wouldn’t even allow me to take that small precaution for myself. I've been using the platform for three months now (with three more to go), and in that entire time, I’ve only come across one verified profile. It honestly feels like eHarmony is more focused on collecting subscriptions than providing a safe, genuine dating experience. They don’t seem to care about the quality of their platform or the authenticity of their users. I expected better.

The matches on Eharmony are few. You start talking to someone and I learned to wait 2 or 3 days because they most likely would be blocked. Eharmony will not give you any basic information on why the person was blocked from the site. All they say is that they violated the terms of the site. I wondered if it was because the guy asked too early to meet/exchange phone numbers. I was talking to someone for two weeks and then they were blocked. I continued talking to him to learn he was a scammer. All they had to say was his profile wasn't legitimate. I don't think this is good customer service. You are there to protect and serve me the customer and you can't give me a basic reason the person is blocked without violating their privacy. Why are so many men blocked? That tells me the screening processing is non-existence. Buyer beware.

Things start very easy when one first gets online, fills profiles, questions and so on. Site to seem too good, the issue is price even with a 50% discount which is only on the first month, and that lowest available one can't faces of other users; the cost is very high. They want new subscribers to pay a few months in advance, Can Not try say for one month and see things work out. Common sense tells us to test drive the site prior to committing lots of Dollar$. The Bottom line is that profit is the most important thing to those that run the site, not the membership finding a match. If I remember right they want a payment of over One Hundred dollars, before one can even see the face of a possible match.

Most of the profiles are fakes or have no pictures. Some profiles are bots that want you to call them or email them. eHarmony is a complete rip off. They will not refund your money if you want to cancel your subscription. eHarmony is literally stealing from you.

I wish I would have looked at these reviews first. Eharmony is full of small or nonexistent print. You try a free trial and see blurred faces. So you pay $200.00 for a basic subscription and find you can not read any messages sent to you. They want you to upgrade again. Well at $200, I already learned there was nothing worth upgrading for so I cancel (not an easy task). Once canceled, I discover that ithe subscription is not quarterly, as implied by both the payment schedule AND WHAT IT SAID, but actually yearly. So I paid all that money and still find it not worth my while to go to it.

Do not subscribe to this site. Every match (more than 15) I’ve received has immediately been blocked due to user violating eHarmony standards. I’m also fairly certain that most of the profiles I’ve seen are created either by the dating site or AI. Many of the profile bios match verbatim in their descriptions. Buyer beware.

Unfortunately, EH is a scam, but I will admit I continue to use it because there are good people on there like me who are sincerely just trying to find their person, so I use the platform anyway despite the many issues.
1) MOST profiles do not have a photo (like 80%) and MANY are inactive. EH really needs to make it a requirement to have at least 1 photo. They don't do this because they'd rather take money from anyone who is willing, they are not interested in providing a good experience.
2) They charge your credit card without warning for the next 6- or 12-month period, and it can be upwards of $400+ dollars. Even if you uncheck the box in the fine print of your account (if you find it, they won't advertise this/hide it) to NOT automatically renew you, they STILL will automatically renew you. I use one of my extra credit cards, and if they charge me fraudulently, which they've done many times over the years, I just complain to my CC company and cancel the card. I would recommend doing this instead of linking an actual debit card/bank account.
3) I am a normal respectful person and nothing I write to anyone or write in my profile is untoward. Recently, I went to log in to my account. EH put a block on me accessing my account, saying that I owed them an additional $150 to be able to go into my account because I had a balance (?? really fishy since I already paid). I had a few matches I was talking to, so I decided to pay the $150 to be able to get into my account. AFTER I paid them $150, I went to log in, and EH said I HAD BEEN BLOCKED!! Basically they had asked me for more money, then blocked my account anyway once I paid!! It was ludicrous because I never said anything bad or posted anything weird in my life on a dating app, and yet here they were blocking me for "violating terms"??!! A total lie on their part, and AFTER they collected my $150!! I reached out to them, but of course, they never get back to you.

This site claims that by requiring a high initial payment that you will find real users. In 11 months I had 26 different matches where the other person liked me back. 14 of them were obvious scammers asking to switch to another messaging platform. I only had conversations with two individuals, and none led to dates. That was a waste of $500.

I would give them a negative star if I could. It seems that this is less of a dating services, but rather it is a scam to lock people into paying for a service that they never allow you to cancel. Even though the confirmation email I received when I created the account very clearly stated "if you cancel within 3 days then you will be fully refunded", I contacted Human Resources because I wanted to cancel almost immediately. As soon as I logged in I saw that there was nobody even using this platform. The HR representative responded that I could not cancel, but that my subscription would not be renewed.
Soon after the non-renewal date I started receiving emails and letters stating that if I did not pay for the subscription that it would be sent to collections.... I ignored it because I am an insanely busy person and I assumed it was a scam (it is btw...). I never used this service and requested cancellation from the begging... but NOW, they have a collections agency harassing me to pay a subscription that have requested be cancelled numerous times. I warn everyone to not even try this out.

I have never seen so many consistent 1 star reviews. Nearly all the people on eHarmony are fakes. Many just want your connecting information, such as phone number or email, to sell. You will start to get all sorts of trash calls, texts, and emails. Don't waste your money on this site. Customer service is horrible. You have to send an email and wait. I have written 4 times between 2 months and 1 week ago. I am still waiting for a response on any of my emails. It is clear that their business plan is to ignore. You will be disappointed to frustrated. They offer a 72 full refund but makes it so difficult to do that it is nearly impossible. eHarmony just keeps your money.

I spend my time doing the following with eHarmony.
2. Trying to get the person that does not have a picture to provide one. Over half the likes I get do not have pictures even though my profile asks for one. Other dating sites have a lot higher rate of seeing a picture to start with.
3. I quit figuring out how to contact them about their challenges. Contact options are limited at best.
4. Compare to other sites the volume of potential mates is limited, regardless of pictures or no pictures.
5. I don’t think they monitor the profile development by an individual at all. They want us the paying party to tell them they have a problem.

I DO NOT recommend this site. The price is ridiculously high for basically nothing. There were very few people to choose from. They rope you into paying by blurring member photos and then are not upfront or transparent about what you'll pay. Customer service is nonexistent. Unless you are in certain states that offer a buyers remorse clause, they will not credit you or let you out of your contract. Absolutely WILL NOT use again.

Ok, I wouldn’t mind paying for a site to match me if it were worth it but the pricing itself is not clear. It gives you options in a way that you don’t realized you just crammed in, all those payments in 3 months, probably because they know by that 3rd month you will figure out this is not worth it and cancel. Then since you already paid, you might as well entertain yourself.
Honest experience: Had few conversations, some did time and some scams, but it was the fact that they match you with people who didn’t pay that fee to join so you can’t connect with potentials unless they pay and you paid and you’re compatible. Waste of my time and money. Had one date, told me he was recovering. Not my type at all. Then you branch out because options become thin. Even adding new locations. Still nothing. Pretty much, I paid to read ads of men that may not even exist or shouldn’t exist on eHarmony.

Don't know what it is like for a woman seeking a man, but for a man seeking a woman, it's all just a bunch of phishing profiles. Stopped counting after the first 20. The site rarely filters out the scammers and for those I reported, they have yet to boot them. So far I have made contact with only one real person, but despite having a local only filter, she lives on the other side of the country. Some high profile lawyer needs to start a class action lawsuit against this site for false advertising, breach of contract and deceptive business practices.

eHarmony Customer Experience Survey Response. Overall Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 out of 5) My experience with eHarmony has been incredibly disappointing, stressful, and frustrating. I signed up on March 24, 2025, while briefly in Texas, but I am a legal Florida resident. I used the app for just a few days before realizing it wasn’t a good fit for me. I immediately emailed customer support on March 25 to request cancellation due to relocation overseas for a family emergency, which will last over 6 months—a legitimate reason listed in your own cancellation policies.
Despite that, I was completely ignored. I submitted multiple cancellation requests on March 25 and again on April 1 and April 4th. Not only was my account not canceled, but I was also charged again recurring charges—even after I had removed my photos and made my profile invisible. What’s worse, the May 2 charge was unauthorized, as it was made on a replacement card that I never provided to eHarmony. This is a blatant breach of billing ethics.
Your support system is unresponsive, rigid, and borderline exploitative—completely unwilling to honor a good faith cancellation request or provide a refund for a service that was not used. You continue to charge users without consent, ignoring their circumstances and communication. I have contacted my Credit Card to dispute the unauthorized charges and submitted all email proof. The stress, wasted money, and lack of accountability from your team is unacceptable.
This was hands-down the worst online service experience I’ve had, and I will make sure others know to think twice before trusting your platform with their money or time. Recommendation: Unless your policies and support drastically improve, I will never return to eHarmony, and I will actively discourage others from doing so.

I also received the unexplained "shadow ban" from eHarmony merely for contacting customer service. I had just started a great conversation with a woman and it was going well. I had an issue trying to "SMS verify" my account. When I reached out to customer service, they never responded, but that night refunded my first payment with no explanation or response. My account seemed normal, but suddenly my messages sent to the same woman were not getting read. Ultimately after several days of no success with customer service, I created another account identifying as a woman. I found the created account with my original account, liked it and sent messages.
When logging back into my female account, I found that, as suspected, no one was receiving my messages, although on my original account side it showed them sent. An absolute fraud. Even after I created a second account with my original information, once again no messages were actually being sent. This is an absolute fraud, and it affects people in real life. It's an outrage, and eharmony should be completely shuttered over it. There is no telling how many thousands of people are paying for an account, but are actually "ghosts" on the platform, invisible to everyone although it shows their messages being sent.

My personal experience as a 6 mo member is that in the first week, I sent out 13 likes &/or messages to potential matches, all of which were shown to have been active that very same day; however, not one single one read the message nor responded to them. Eharmony has a system (double green check mark = read by recipient) that shows if a match has read the message.
To this day, none of them have been read but all those profiles show they’ve been active within 24 hours. Who uses a dating app & doesn’t at least read the messages that get sent them?!? Furthermore, I’ve received zero likes/messages on my own profile and only 5 that have viewed my profile. However, in contrast, using Match.com for a third of the cost, I’ve had tons of activity & numerous dates all in less than 2 weeks!

I initially signed up for Basic/Free membership to get an idea of the service. After seeing a few interesting members I decided to pay for the 6 month membership by paying for the entire 6 months using Visa prepaid card. Initially this worked and I was able to upload photos, see photos, and I exchanged a few messages for about a few hours. Then eHarmony, after giving me a few hours as an upgraded member, shut my account down to an extent. I cannot see who or if anyone has gone to my profile and none of my messages sent appear to be read.
I’ve discussed this with customer care a few times without much help. One time they said I had my visibility options turned off (I did not) and another said my case was “complicated” and that an account specialist would get back to me asap. No one has gotten back to me. I did receive a generic email explaining how to upgrade.
I’ve tried upgrading now but nothing changes. Eharmony keeps “congratulating” me for my upgrade but later I see the purchase wasn’t processed, I’m not charged. Seems that they’re very lacking in customer service and are too rigid about the prepaid card. But now they won’t allow me to upgrade with a regular credit card.
When I signed up for the Basic I put in my location as Nantucket for personal reasons. I was going to be there for a few months etc. but eharmony not allowing me to update my location nor to edit my account in any way. All I can say is that their rejection of a prepaid card that is covering the full year membership is very sketchy. If I didn’t have a friend on the site I may not even have known how they have me totally shadowbanned. Instead I’d have presumed that a couple of these guys just dropped off. Will update if this is fixed.

I too have been scammed by eHarmony. It's funny how I research this site first and found so many positive reviews. Now that I am locked into a one-year contract I am scared that from the reviews that even if I cancel, I will be auto renewed at the end of one year. I guess I need to have my credit card replaced before then and put a block alert on it for eharmony. Also as soon as I signed up I began getting bombarded with other dating site ads in my email. I have contacted Eharmony several times threatening to take appropriate actions if found selling my information (which I am sure they have).
However, after threatening them it seems that the emails almost completely stopped. Still get one every so often. Anyway, they have not responded to one of my emails accusing them of doing this. Lastly, like nearly everyone else giving bad reviews, I too get likes that soon either get deleted.

My profile stated that I am a man seeking to meet a man. 1) I have been shown profiles of women. 2) I have been shown profiles of men seeking to meet women, only clear because their profiles stated that. 3) I have therefore no confidence that the system screens for men seeking men. 4) I have no way of knowing that messages sent to members are sent to members who can reply, who have premium memberships. I was told that members could take weeks, even though members are immediately contacted that they have a message. Apparently eHarmony is satisfied that it has legal language which allows it to not address systemic failures unlike other dating websites.

To me EH seems to have the most scammers. It got so I was leery of reaching out to anyone I was interested in. Finally gave up. The scammers are smarter than the scammer watchdogs evidently. I feel like it is eHarmony’s duty to make this a top priority. As of yet, they don’t seem to be making very good progress.

Sad to say I would not recommend Eharmony. They are very expensive and the choices they send me are awful. Uneducated, not attractive and 3 so far who contacted me were removed due to being suspected of being scammers. No one is perfect and I don't claim to be either, but what they show as choices for men in my age group 50 to 70 in their advertising must be models posing as Eharmony potential matches.

I have been on eHarmony two months. Initially I indicated I was a widow. Scammers descended. It is totally obvious IF these scammers are kicked out of the program they just change their name (sometimes not even the picture, city or their occupation) or they change the name and delete the picture. Changed my status to divorced and there has been no action since.

I am so glad I read the reviews as it saved me from signing up on this very expensive and useless site. Before I write about what I think of eHarmony. I had 'burned' $150 on DateMyAge.com. Don't use that site either. After I signed up on DateMyAge.com, I started chatting with about three 'featured' members. After about three plus hours later, I got a message on the site that said my 'credits' were finished and that I needed to buy more credits to continue! Really? What is the objective of this website? $150 gone in three plus hours!!
Back to eHarmony, I created my profile and added my pictures and then the time came for me to sign up. I took a few days to decide and tried to research. I was shocked at what it costs and finally after reading their terms and conditions, I was angry. We all know how high the price is to sign up. If you signed up for the 'light' package, they limit how many times you can message a member. They do not allow all members to see who has seen you. They do not allow all members to see all photos. Basic features that is a given with other sites are used as a tool with Eharmony to attach additional fees. I have been on several sites, but never seen any site made to look so 'professional' with their legal jargon to protect themselves while screwing the members. At what point are we monetizing somebody else's unhappiness? Where does it become unethical?
I had not even signed up on Eharmony and they already began to feature me without my permission. If the site did this with other potential members, their site would appear to have more members than they really do. Match.com is no better but at least they do not charge an arm and a leg - Maybe not yet! Eharmony - why don't you change your name to EHARMONEY?

Quite bad. Most profiles are scams. Women send likes with their emails or phone numbers described using text so (I assume) the site doesn't detect fraud. Most fake profiles come from out of state (a lot from GA - I live in NH). Based on what I've encountered, a single photo, poor grammar, degrees that don't match their job profiles (HS degree but head of asset management), etc are good indicators of fraud. Be warned. Get a burner number on your phone should you ever decide to exchange numbers, at least until you meet them. Many will get mysteriously ill before a meetup. A lot of bad actors out there.

I signed up for eHarmony's paid membership hoping to find a serious relationship through a legitimate dating platform. Within 3 weeks, I realized that they don't properly vet members as advertised, making me uncomfortable continuing to use it. When I contacted customer service to cancel my 2-year subscription (I made 2 payments so far, with the most recent one yesterday), I was told that I cannot cancel my membership regardless of my dissatisfaction and concerns. They not only refused to refund my recent payment but also insisted I must make two more future payments saying that is how the terms and conditions are written. This certainly feels like a deceptive trap; I cannot believe how could a business force their customers to pay for up to 2 years of an unwanted service and this is completely unreasonable.
I have already attempted to resolve this directly with eHarmony which was useless and both times their staff said this is how it is, but they hide behind their terms and conditions and offer no reasonable solution. This experience has been frustrating and financially draining. I want others to be aware of this scam and not fall in their trap.

Reviewed April 17, 2025
In short: BUYER BEWARE! Both the product itself and the customer service would both get 0 stars if it were an option. If you are willing to read as to why, I will dive into both: Product: I signed up for this service at 35 years old with the thought, "It seems to be geared towards people that are a bit more serious with their dating intentions." They claim to have a great compatibility service provided through a long survey you fill out, so that too looked appealing. Let me tell you...
There is barely anyone on this site (which now I know why) to the point that you will immediately know you wasted your money. The entire point is to meet people, and there's barely anyone on there to meet. Compared to free apps like Hinge, you will have WAY better chances of connecting with someone, for FREE! I could put my range on the Hinge app to 15 miles and have literally 10x as many profiles to choose from than when I put my eHarmony profile at 50 miles (because I had to!)...
The whole compatibility test they give you seems like a great idea, but it is not at all effective. You again can find out through someone else's profile on any of the free apps how compatible you are just as easily as you can on eHarmony. I can "like" several profiles a day on the free apps and was wondering if I would ever like a profile on eHarmony. This product was so bad that I immediately knew I wasn't subscribing again, which brings me to my second point...
Customer service: When the product was not what I expected, I knew I would not want to renew so I took care of that within the first two weeks. Fast forward to my year subscription coming up, and I have a notification from my credit card company that they denied a $360 charge from eHarmony (thank goodness!). When calling the credit card company, they were even aware that there are a lot of issues with this company, which tells you a lot!
Next thing you know, you get emails from eHarmony immediately threatening that they will have a debt collection agency coming after you if you don't pay by a certain date. This is where the worst customer service experience I have EVER had comes in. They don't even have a number that you can speak to anyone. I have emailed asking for it, with generic responses talking about debt collection coming for me again. If not having a number for any "customers" to ever reach isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.
I was almost shocked when the debt collection agent that called me referred to eHarmony as their client because it is pretty common knowledge (just search the internet) what kind of company they are. I told RFGI that they surely have a phone number that eHarmony contacts them from, and simply asked for it so that I could contact them myself. It seems eHarmony has them pretty rehearsed at how they want them to respond to this. You get the same rehearsed answers of, "They are an online company so they deal with their customers online." They are still a company, and therefore should have a number but also, I have obviously tried that route without success and would love an opportunity just to talk with someone, so I was a bit disappointed that RFGI could not offer that. Do yourself a favor, DO NOT waste your money! There are multiple free apps with an infinitely better product than this.

I subscribed for a 3 month membership. I didn’t have any success and decided to end my membership after 3 months. I was told I could cancel my membership via email. When I tried to access my account via email my password would not allow access. I was instructed to change my password which I did and it still didn’t work. I emailed the customer service email and explained I couldn’t access my account and that I wanted to cancel my membership. I received an email acknowledging same. However on the day after my membership was to be cancelled my credit card was changed for an entire year's membership for $550.00. I once again emailed as there is no phone number to call to inform EHarmony that I had requested a cancellation of my membership. They in turn refunded half my money. I emailed that I wanted a full refund which they said wasn’t possible as I didn’t cancel my membership within the time period to do so.
I disputed the charges with documentation that I had indeed requested a cancellation within the time frame, however they continued to charge my credit card. We remain in a dispute as I provide the emails that I received from EHarmony acknowledging receipt of my request. DO NOT USE THIS DATING SITE.

I was going to ask eHarmony if we could do an advertisement for them. All of a sudden I got an email from Jenny accusing me of ghosting her while she was away on vacation. I thought it was impolite to bother her while she was away. I did send one text half way into her 5 day trip and she answered with curse phrases. She wouldn't answer my next text. So I was crushed. I went from perfection back to my lonely 64 year old self. Now I am back to hating the site.

First of all, they trap you in a six month plan. It’s expensive, and you can’t cancel. They won’t tell you that upfront, and there’s no way to see what the app is like first. Then, once you see it, it’s antiquated and limited - there’s no way to change/update the match assessment you take, and there’s assessment itself is confusing and vague. I cannot tell you how much I hate it and wish I could cancel. I have completed my entire profile with photos, and I have sent messages and likes. No responses or success.
I have reached out to customer service twice and there is no change or assistance. There is no way to tell if the profiles are even verified or current. I suspect that from lack of feedback and interest in my profile versus my experience on other sites that this is a scam. If it were not, and if it were quality and successful in helping people find relationships other than hookups and sexting, they wouldn’t have to lock you into fees for six months minimum. Trust me - it’s the worst, and I’ve been on at least four others. I believed the ads, but never again!

I subscribed to the lowest tier, which only shows one photo per profile—but I figured that was good enough. When I wanted to see more photos, I used the "unlock" feature. What wasn’t immediately clear is that the 25 unlocks are not just for extra photos—they also apply to matches, even those from blocked or fake accounts.
The breaking point was matching with two real women but being unable to message them unless I used an unlock. The catch? I had to wait 25 days to get more unlocks. When I reached out to customer service, they weren’t helpful at all. They wouldn’t even credit me for the blocked accounts I had wasted unlocks on. I explained how frustrating and unclear this policy was—especially since it directly affected my ability to talk to actual matches—but they didn’t seem to care.

The matching algorithm ignores preferences—age, race, and distance filters are routinely disregarded. The app kept pushing incompatible matches—people decades older/younger or outside my location. When I complained, their "solution" was to change my preferences—which defeats the purpose! Worse, the site is flooded with fake profiles; 24 accounts I encountered were later blocked by eHarmony for violating terms. That’s not a coincidence — it’s a scam. Most accounts seemed fake or abandoned.
Horrible Customer Service: Nearly impossible to reach, and when I did, they refused a refund. They take your money but provide zero real matches support. Other dating apps offer better features, real people, and actual respect for your preferences. This platform feels like a scam.

I complained to eHarmony customer service about this and their response was to change my preferences (to things I don't want or don't appeal to me) to receive more matches. Just recently they suggested I expand my search to other states. They must feel it is feasible to date someone 200 miles away in another state. There are better dating sites available for seniors, stay away from eHarmony.

This company engages in unethical practices. I signed up for six months where the first month was half price. Instead I got billed for a two year membership with an immediate, nonreversible charge of $258 which will be charged again every six months. Even though I immediately brought to their attention that the mistake was made, they absolutely refused to give me any refund. I was forced to change my credit card.

I followed up my email Sunday morning with another email.
I followed up again on Monday by sending two more emails. I emailed again on Tuesday and on Wednesday. Come Wednesday I reported it as fraud to my credit card company. Thursday I still hadn't heard from E-Harmony, and Friday I called my credit card company to report it as fraud again. Saturday E-Harmony finally got back to me (a week later and after it was reported as fraud) to tell me my original request had been denied, and this second request was also denied! I never received an email of an original denial. I was also told the 3-day refund period was only for certain states in the US. So not only do they lack on customer service and the DO NOT have a REFUND POLICY or trial in place, but they also discriminate the refund policy based on where a person lives.
IF you are from Canada, note that there is NO REFUND POLICY or trial period - not even a 24 hour one. If you subscribe you pay with no recourse. On top of that, even when you are subscribed you can't reply to messages or talk to someone until you indicate you like something about them. Pictures are blurred unless you subscribe.

I could not figure out how to contact eharmony because there was no phone number. Paypal finally gave me a phone number which I thought I confirmed online but… I ended up being defrauded more than the expensive subscription price.
I then tried to message eharmony on the app with no one replying. Paypal then gave me an email address. I emailed but the only thing that I was told was that I had to enjoy the subscription because I had renewed even though I have not used it in a year and had no plans to use it in the future. I have not used it since the renewal either. I am very disappointed. I was defrauded on the site.

I strongly believe eHarmony is scamming me. I joined one month ago, encountered over 18 participating subscribers blocked who have contacted me. Do not subscribed to this dating app. When you attempt to reach out to the office for an explanation, they do not have an office telephone only email communications. I will report them, and will attempt to cancel my subscription.

Never found a female looking for love on eHarmony. Only found scammers. Avoid all dating apps like you would avoid COVID. Summary: was on eHarmony for 3 months, never had a local love interest, they all were very long distances promising love, financial security and happiness.

I'm an attractive woman, I got no one writing me. Recommendations came from overseas. Men in Europe! Really?? Just not the eharmony I remember. It was sad, and colorless. They ask for full payment if you miss a payment. Block your access in the interim. Eharmony has hit new lows. The review of one star I feel is well earned. I feel stuck with them for now so I'll have to make the best of it. Try another dating site, eharmony is not worth it.

This is the worst experience I have ever had, I wished I would of looked at this page before paying them and get emotionally distressed by a man that contacted me and was a FAKE, as all the other 12-14 men that contacted me all turned out to be FAKE & SCAMMERS. I still can understand how this happens with all the technology available. I tried to report my Scammer and I wrote 5 emails, because of course there is no phone number to call before they brought him down.
Now I am an expert at detecting the scammer. If their picture is "Good Looking", "Model looking" google the picture and you will see it belongs to someone else, also if they have real bad grammar or misspelled words, they want to get your phone number or give you their phone number right away and the big one is they will spread it on real thick, "You're Beautiful", "Sweetheart You are Gorgeous." Sounds good too if you haven't heard that in a while but it's all fake :(. Please beware and be careful who you give information or money to. This site should be taken down, if anyone know of a Class action law suit please contact me. I would love to be part of that and bring them down so they can't hurt anyone else.

MISLEADING and FRAUDULENT. BEWARE. Seriously beware. Eharmony has you pay a very large amount of money because they know you are vulnerable and prey on your fears. You will fill out multiple pages about what you are looking for, which they will disregard and give you the exact opposite. They don't care if you like the person. They already have your money. If you think you will get the chance to meet someone even close to what you want you are wrong. Your concerns will go unanswered. They advertise tons of people sign up for this safe place for dating. What that really means is tons of people realized it is a SCAM after they paid for it. You can't get your money back or walk away. It's a horrible mental hell they have you in and they know it.

Don’t do it! Stay away from eHarmony! All of those great reviews are fake, just like every one of the matches. I have spoken to ONE real person in 3 months, all of the others were scammers and bots. When I researched some of the matches, they were totally fake. Many others were blocked by eharmony for ‘violating the rules’. Biggest waste of money ever. Just don’t do it.

My experience was not good with EHarmony. I discovered quite a few Fake profiles, like over at least 10 profiles before I decided to finally throw in the towel with them. Some of the profiles were obviously written by the same writer because there was a pattern that I saw, there was always a space before a period and a space before a comma which is not how anything is written in our English language here. It was truly a waste of time and an exorbitant amount of money.
Many of the profiles that were presented to me did not have a picture nor much of a write up. The site had some functionality issues, like when I went to report a profile the button wouldn’t work, I reported this several times and they never did fix it. When I was reviewing profiles and opened one, the app would take me all the way back to the beginning and I would have to start all over again, I also reported this several times and they never did fix that either.
If they were a legitimate site with a legitimate product they wouldn’t need to continue to charge you as a dissatisfied customer. They totally misrepresented who they are and what their product is. There is no such thing as a phone number with them and you can’t talk to anyone. I was on this site about 10 years ago and I had a different experience. I don’t think the site is what it used to be nor what they sell it to be. I canceled a 12 month membership after only six months because I never met anyone and it was a total waste of time. I thought I was talking to one person and I noticed they never answered my questions and then they asked for my phone number and I suggested why not give me your phone number initially and they blocked me. I would never join again.

Eharmony chose to charge for at least one, possibly 2 years on autorenewal even though I had not used the site at all during those times and had discontinued my only agreed upon payment method. Now they continue to send me aggressive emails threatening collection action on this "bill". Weak and predatory actions of a company failing badly. Very sad.

EHarmony now for about 4 months. EHarmony does NOT vet people at all. A lot of scammers get through. First couple of texts, they want to go directly to WhatsApp or some other site. You can also tell by the lack of NOT answering questions. They answer questions with another question. THIS IS THE BEST SITE TO FIND SCAMMERS. I CAN'T STATE THIS ENOUGH. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
Some, at the point of and during the initial texting part...bam, all of a sudden, they are gone with a note about EHarmony blocking them. Terrible site and expensive with no way of refunding. You can start there and if you are lucky enough (LOL) to meet someone and want to cancel early on...You send a message that you met someone from their site (again, LOL), you're stuck with the $500 + bar tab with a polite message of screw you, we got your money.

Avoid Eharmony! They have several lawsuits against them for their unfair practices. They do not provide the services they advertise.

A lot of the ladies that eHarmony sent to were too far away from me. Several of the ladies that I reached out to never responded back. The last lady I reached out too asked me how long I have been on eHarmony and what did I think of this site. I told her that a lot of the of the ladies lived too far away and the ones I did reached out to never responded. So I said, I would not recommend this site. She did not respond to that. Several days latter I checked for a response and then I discovered I Had been blocked. Then I discover I have been block from this site. I only told the truth and I didn't think I said anything that degraded this site or attacked them in a disrespectful manner.

This site charges a lot and leads you to believe all members are vetted (within reason). I joined and two of my first three contacts were fake profiles - in the first week of my membership I learned a 500 dollar lesson. But to add insult to injury they will not refund me OR close my account. Don’t be fooled into thinking a high price equals quality. And, good luck getting customer service that isn’t shady.

This has been the most expensive dating app I ever signed up for - Nonetheless, out of all my matches they have all been romance scammers. So sad, they have made this experience scary, and unsafe. Unfortunately, I signed up for a one year subscription. I am trying to get out of the subscription due to my experience in the last three weeks. I have made my profile invisible due to the app not letting me delete my profile. Do not waste your time or money.

I am 39. I have never dated. Things happened last year and I realized why I was not interested. I decided to try it out. Brain injury in 03. Lost all but about 8% for my vision. I cannot drive. I thought I would try online dating. At least as far as meeting someone goes. I joined eharmony. It feels like a total scam. Like eight people have either liked my profile or talked to me. All but two, as soon as they click like or after a few times of us talking, get banned. Now, they say blocked. I mean, what are the odds of that happening over and over again. There is no way I will ever be able to connect.
I have had the account less than two weeks. They tell me I cannot cancel. I did the thing in which I pay like four payments. If I could meet a person and talk with them it would be amazing. But I never can. I thought about it. It's almost as if none of the profiles are real. Then, if one account says account closed, why can they close their account and not me. I wish I could meet a person. I had a hard life the first 18 years I existed. All ending in a person doing something that caused me to die a number of times. I forgive and love all. I just want to see what it is like to fall in love.

A few years ago eHarmony seemed like a legitimate site, but since I rejoined in July, most of the profiles I get in my feed are fake. You can tell they are fake right away and I started reporting them to eHarmony through their online form. They end up blocking the profile and then send me a standard form email with a link to an article on how to stay safe.
This has been going on for months and I have asked to speak to someone at eHarmony and no one calls me back. Is there even a phone number where a person can call? I think this platform is bordering on a scam. I think people need to recognize this. You can tell by the one star ratings here from thousands of people that this is scam. Any journalists writing reviews on online dating sites should investigate this.

I decided to take the one month trial. I was not able to see the pictures clearly. Only part of the profile. Then I received a promo of 50% off the first month making it $19.95 for the first month, then $39.90/month. This was for the Premium Plus 12 month. I enter all of my information but at the end it gave me membership terms of $114.71 today and 3 subsequent monthly payments of $114.71 each for a total of $458.85. If I changed the payment terms to monthly then there was an additional charge of 11 plus interest rate on top. Also if you do not cancel within 3 days of the start date and find a match within 1-4 months let's say they will not refund the other months or if you are on a monthly payment they will continue to charge you.
The renewal is automatic unless you cancel before and at an increase rate. I was hesitant with the profile they were sending. They just did not sound real and maybe they were but the fact that I was not able to see them clearly popped up a red flag. After my chat on line with their customer service person I decided this site was not for me and deleted my profile. I had looked for reviews before and had not found much until now that I found this review site. Thanks to all this reviews. I'm glad I went with my gut felling. Be careful and I wish you the best in finding what you are looking for, do not be discouraged. Oh and also another site that I think has a lot of scammers is DateMyAge.
